Arnaud’s 0.2 hectares of very old vines are well-situated, close to Griotte-Chambertin, on red soil with lots of pebbles and high active chalk content. The winemaking is very similar to the Mazoyères-Chambertin, albeit with a touch less new oak. There was a lot of millerandage (hen and chicken) here, so many tiny berries. Arnaud and his team hand-destemmed over half the fruit. Arnaud’s Charmes is often more red-fruited and spicier than Mazoyères. It brings plenty of red cherry aromas and flavours, whilst maintaining the opulence of classical Charmes and the vibrant, sweet, floral fruit this vineyard is famed for.

Reviews

“The 2023 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru comes from the north part of the vineyard. It was vinified with 80% whole bunches, with the central stem removed from each cluster. This has a floral bouquet of violet and iris flower, very pure and sensual. The palate is medium-bodied with a cashmere texture that disguises the backbone underneath. Lightly spiced with hints of clove and white pepper, it gently fans out on the persistent finish. Excellent.”
94-96 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
“The 2023 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru exhibits notes of cherries, raspberries, rose petals and wintergreen, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and fleshy palate built around powdery tannins and juicy acids.”
91-93 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
“Bright ruby to crimson. The Mazoyères is a little bit restrained on the nose, but compensates for that on the palate with a wealth of dark red berry fruit, and a slight mineral crunch. Disciplined throughout. Drink from 2030-2038.”
93-96 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
